Overview & History

Adopted in 1903 and chambered in .30-06, the Springfield M1903 served as the principal U.S. service rifle through WWI and alongside the Garand in WWII. Value depends on the maker (Springfield Armory or Rock Island), production date, matching parts, markings and cartouches, and originality, with correct early rifles, National Match, and sniper (A4) variants bringing the most. (Note: very early 'low-number' receivers are collected but generally considered unsafe to fire.)

Identifying & Marks

Check the receiver maker and serial, barrel date, stock cartouches and inspection marks, and that parts match; correct, all-original rifles are the most valuable. Our specialists verify correctness.
